Bozo by Foxo Reardon for September 24, 2021

1 &2 Make a continuing story from the Umbrella Guy’s point of view.

3 I suspected the walls were thin in Bozo’s apartment.

3 – “In 1949, Bozo escaped from that drab apartment. All they found of him was a step ladder, a cigar butt, and an old rock hammer, darn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Bozo did it in less than five minutes.”

1. Bozo wants custom size to his size.

2. Looks like this guy drank too much for the new year. Got to call the ambulance.

3. Bozo dunnknows his own strength.

And once again, wonderful comics drawn wonderfully. Who needs words when facial expressions and body language of characters are enough to convey the subject. And all these characters living in a realistic looking three dimensional cartoon world. And all these skillfully drawn on a piece of paper.

Once again, a big thumbs up for Foxo’s marvellous masterpiece, the wordless wonder called Bozo!

#3, panel 5: Bozo draws a frame around the hole.

⓵ Bozo loves his stubbies.

⓶ Check for prints, officer. Bozo never touched that bottle.

⓷ What, no fire wall?

Bozo! You could have had two smokes off that.

1 Bozo is keeping his resolution to cut down on his smoking.

2 Dang litterbugs.

3 Bozo greets his new roommate.

1. It’s physics, the long cigar would change Bozo’s center of gravity and he would always tip forward. By breaking off a bit of the new cigar, Bozo maintains his center of gravity and he avoids the perils of what happened in strip #2.

2. Bozo: “See officer, I was just walking down the street, when out of nowhere, BAM, out went the lights”. Cop: “Sure you were, tell it to the judge!”

3. Hi Ya neighbor!

Looks like the Umbrella Man is car surfing in the first 2 strips.

You have to be careful, sometimes the bottle hits back

1) Stub: Bozo is given a brand new cigar and he makes a stub out of it. One of his signatures.

2) Bottle Brained: Bozo walking on the street minding his own business when someone threw an empty whisky bottle out the window and hits him on the head. The beat cop he likes to prank arrests him for public drunkenness.

3) Hammer Down: While hammering a nail to hang a picture Bozo hits it too hard and bashes a hole in the wall. His neighbor is shocked!

Next time Bozo, try using those 3M strips. They’re much better than a nail.
